Si existe en la historia de la música de los 60's alguien imprescindible ....Ese es sin lugar a dudas PHIL SPECTOR.......Sin El.... sin su sonido.... las páginas de la historia de de la música popular estarian muy vacias.....Se dice que la genialidad a veces raya en la locura, Spector esta genialmente loco...... Nació un 25 de diciembre de 1940 en un barrio del Bronx, cuando era niño su padre se suicidó a causa de problemas monetarios y maritales, después de este acontecimiento en la vida del pequeño Spector, se mudó con su madre y su hermana a California, a una pequeña ciudad llamada Fairfax, ahí fue cuando se empezó a llenar de música y aprendió a tocar la guitarra, piano y el bajo. Fue en Los Angeles donde empezó a frecuentar un estudio de grabación donde le permitían aprender sobre los asuntos técnicos de la música.....Su vida personal poco importa aquí.....pero el legado que nos ha dejado...dificilmente lo superaran otros productores y músicos........Escuchar su voz y su piano... es todo un lujo....
If it exists in the history of the 60's music .... That's one essential without a doubt PHIL SPECTOR ..... Without Him ... without sound .... pages of the history of popular music would be very empty ..... the genius is said that sometimes verges on madness, the genius Spector crazy ...... He was born on December 25, 1940 in the Bronx as a child his father committed suicide because of money problems and marital, after this event in the life of the small Spector, moved with his mother and sister to California, a small town called Fairfax, that's when it began to fill with music and learned to play guitar, piano and bass. It was in Los Angeles where he began to frequent a studio where he was allowed to learn about the technical matters of music ..... His personal life does not matter here ..... but the legacy left to us hardly ... exceed what other producers and musicians ........ Listen to his voice and his piano ... is a luxury .... - Hudba
Maaaan imagine all the demos he’s recorded that are in his music vault. I hope Sony releases them all and outtakes.
When Phil Spector starts to sing 'this is the w-a-y . . .', you think this could be an inept 'cover' - but then his hesitant, out-of-tune voice becomes soft and sad, strained and melodic. By the time he struggles into the first chorus, the piano makes you tap your feet, driving the song forward with a steady rhythm and some surprising little trills in the right places.
It has the feeling of a talented composer laying bare the composition.
I think it’s brave and sincere . . . and beautiful.
Yep.
Its like Brian Wilson innocent and wonderstruck it’s beautiful. It’s so strange how within there was such beauty but he only could translate it into his music
Always interesting for us non-musicians to hear how a song comes together. We tend to think it drops from the sky whole, but it's pieced together and molded.
Million of thanks decoreh!!!! Whitout Phil Spector...The music of the 60's would have lost one of the great sounds and one of the largest producers .. A hug for you!
Such a talented individual who was one of the most influential people in the history of music.
guy was a freaking genius ! that's not up for debate ! when Ronnie sings this song I melt and I love when Carl Wilson and the Beach boys preform this. what the hell happened to music....
yes I know Phil can can't sing and he's a murderer but damn... the genius....
@alterdestiny that's how it should be
I like his singing in this. I would take this over auto-tune any day.
Beyond genius. He could write anyone under the table. This is one of the most beautiful recordings I have ever heard, better than any other version of this song.
Now I'll tell you the origin of this recording .... is a very special recording ... Phil was pretty drunk ... and made this recording .... to do something fun .... extraordinary thing about this song is that it is unique and it is very hard to find... Millions of thanks for to see my video!!! One very big hug for you!!!
How did you get this recording??
You can hear Phil’s broken soul.
Your hearing is better than mine...
@@ManicMindTrick I would agree with you
I like the structure of this song in this recording changing key to go into the chorus. From listening to the actual records somewhere along the way they decided not to do the key change . It’s more interesting with that key change .
Phill Spector, you are genius....... R. I. P
I knew him. He had a very wicked sense of humor that was often translated as "crazy" by the press. In fact, apart from his moments of oddness, he was quiet and felt deeply. Losing hair had a massive impact on him as all his insecurities came from height but get him on a good day and he had a lot of nice things to say.... Get him on an off-day (most of the time) he thought some things were funny to get someone back. Bit dangerous at certain times if he had snorted or drank a lot. About the girl, I have no idea, but I doubt he committed murder but his "other side" got the gun and it went horribly wrong. Phil was a man you could find crying by himself.... If you asked him what was wrong he would just say "crying makes me feel good".
Dan Ashton "the girl", as you call her, had a name, a family, a life, but no more. She was Lana Clarkson.
Phil Spector was an amazingly gifted artist who produced some of the sweetest music human ears have ever heard.
He is also a convicted murderer.
Alex Delarge - I think he also had Aspergers syndrome which I don't know if he ever had diagnosed, but you can plainly see it on CZcams when he appeared on the Merv Griffin show in 1965. One of the symptoms of Aspergers is the inability to read social cues, the inability to tell what is inappropriate and what is not, and my God, this guy is like completely out in left field with regards to that.
+Ka Boom Definitely an interesting clip (Merv Griffin). I don't know; he could have just been an eccentric asshole. Admittedly, he seemed to have some physical ticks. Ticks are often a sign of autism, but are not a part of autism. Autistic people cannot read a person's emotional expressions and sometimes cannot even distinguish people's faces. I do not agree with you that it was "clear." But I see your point. He did seem a little reminiscent to say, David Byrne.
I met him. Can't say I KNEW him. Wrote him once in prison, but no reply.
To know him is to love him
genius....birth of one of the most gorgeous songs of all time. this is how they start people....
Sounds like innocence.
💖🎵🎶
This sounds so much like "Imagine"-- the hollow, plodding, haunting piano. Incredible. The sweet spot. 2:00
No. It sounds much better. What it sounds like is Phil Spector's wall of sound. I can hear the whole orchestra and all the singers coming from this seemingly simple solo piano/vocal arrangement. It oozes with greatness.
Robert Doherty yes!!! Didn’t he produce Imagine?
mona2242 absolutely; why I brought it up. If you listen to the crazy music of Darlene Love’s ‘’A Fine, Fine Boy” it’s a lot like the Ramone’s “Do You Remember Rock ‘N Roll Radio’’.
you picked up on a similar piano sound...it is the same as on Imagine. Has that echo as if its being played in an empty hall
He produced ‘Imagine’ so that is the classic Spector sound that has never been emulated. The records he made with The Beatles, George and John are some of the greatest ever and Spector already had a few dozen of those and more after all the way up until his final single release ‘Silence is Easy’ by Starsailor.
Thank you for the fantastic demo and the comments... I thought I was the only one who felt this way! I agree with you 100% about Phil Spector and his musical legacy. His music is brilliant and everlasting and nothing will ever change that. People make themselves sound so ignorant when they moan and snap out negative comments about Phil when I mention one of his songs or comment on his talent, as if anything he could ever say or do would ever change what it is. One thing has nothing to do with the other.
Indeed you're absolutely right! ... I think great sound ... An icon ... which we can not do without .... Without Spector ... the music of the 60's and 70's part would be very empty ... Thousand thanks for watching my video !
And people forget (or don't know) that he also produced John Lennon - Imagine. An iconic sound.
He was the greatest producer of all time and one of the greatest songwriters of all time, no question about it.
What a treat. I love demos anyway, but this is so sweet and simple . Not a terrific voice, but so yearning and expressive. "I close my eyes and here it comes again...." 2:05, a faint and mysterious background part insinuates itself for a moment. Even on a clunky demo there is magic there.
'That man, he had ears' - Harrison
best version so sweet
R.I.P Phil Spector, a legend
A bit of a gem - RIP Phil
What a genius!
Great song, and this is surprisingly good
Guess this was recorded at the amazing Gold Star Studio? The sounds that could be produced in that Studio - specially when Spector was producing - were stunning. As proven with this track - nothing but Spector vocalising and accompanying himself on a piano - and still somehow the magic of that Studio has created a sonic effect almost like a full 'wall of sound' Production by the man. A real tragedy that the Studio burned down.
How could such a tuneless voice create such amazing melodies? His songs in the hands of others were the best thing to happen to pop music in the mid 60s.
Perfect imperfection
100 💯 Reminds me of the
child-like songs of Daniel Johnston
I'm not sure why really, but I honestly love this! Simple, catchy chord changes there on the piano, and Phil's slightly off tune voice. Damn, it sounds great!
May he rest in peace and once again hear music
No, may he rot in hell for being a murderer and an abuser. His great contribution to music can't be argued against however.
Now, now, what a horrible thing to say. Who are we to judge. Nobody will ever know what happened that night. Even Ronnie and his closest friends don't believe that he actually committed murder. It could have been accidental, the way that he liked to play around with guns. He may have been drunk. So we don't really know the truth.
A genius. Todays music needs a modern Phil Spector. Did he have any students to do the job?
Phil Spector genius
I love this.
Elissa Indeed you're right ... Phil's greatest legacy is his music ... its special sound ... personal life is another story .... but his arrangements and compositions are unique!....Million of thanks for to see my video!!
I like this, the background music is great--i'm sure Phil Spector didn't think of himself as a singer. And I don
t give a damn about his personal life,,,none of us were there that night. The music he helped create is what matters.
@today is not yesterday I thought John's wife (his last one) was abusive to him or at least very controlling, not the other way around.
Elissa Smith agréé!
Man that is a complicated arrangement. He's got a lot of key changes in this thing.
I wouldn't say complicated, yet there is a LOT to it.
WOW...WHAT AN EXPERIENCE. Never heard PHIL sing before!
You can't buy this on any record.
Yes!!! I buy 35 years ago in Rastro of Madrid!! And think is possible found in USA!!!
it's on the phil spector box set
There's a Phil Spector box set? Want.
he did backing vocals on John Lennons Oh Yoko
@@dizzystone3706 he was also one of the Teddy Bears, hear him on "To Know Him Is To Love Him" Number one 1958.
This is too cool! Love these working demos from long ago. To my surprise, I prefer these quirky chord progressions to the version that eventually got produced. Should have kept them in there.
Yes sir .... well spoken!! ... I have the same opinion as you ... What matters is the music .... And Philp Spector is one of the greatest musicians who gave the story! Thousands of thanks for the message!
This song is total genius. I first heard it in Brian Wilsons version and it was the best thing I'd ever heard, but now I find the original artist. BW's voice is sweeter which is what is needs.
Carl sang, not Brian.
It doesn’t need Brian Wilson or any other Wilson. The Beach Boys version lacked everything, way too fast, over-sang terribly, overuse of sleigh bells. This version is a million times better.
He was a member of the Teddy Bears. You can hear him sing backup on To Know Him is to Love Him. It's on CZcams
he also did backing vocals on Oh Yoko
Jetthead18 if you want to hear a full professionally recorded lead check out "Mr. Robin" by the Spectors Three, a group he had briefly after the Teddy Bears circa 1960. Also listen to his demo of "Spanish Harlem" right here on CZcams. Beautifully played and well sung.
That's right. Phil wrote that song. I heard that it was about his father who passed away at an early age.
The epitaph on his father's head stone is "To know him was to love him". Phil used that for his first hit song! He was only18! His father committed suicide BTW.
2000年前後はフィルスペクターのCDは本当に探すのが大変だった。だいたいフィルコリンズ🙋
探す楽しみを教えてもらいました。フィルスペクターBOXはありましたが、そこから色々勉強しました。
What he's doing here is the epitome and height of living; it's inspired by others but is a reflection of who he is. It's nice when people are so into what they do that they can create something admirable. What a life. So many people today just want the lifestyle, but he was the life; it's odd how at this point in time so many musicians came into being and created what will never happen again; it's like it was a big adult kid fest because they were having fun too.
I doubt that Phil was drunk during this session. For that matter I doubt that he was playing for fun. I am firmly convinced that this demo was Phil's way of working out the song differently from how Ellie Greenwood (author) sang and played it.
Elllie sang prettily. This song was recorded with greater dynamics.
I'm very happy what you like !!!..Million of thanks for to see my video!!!
@sleepytimegalz Philosophy Beautiful! I think just like you ... so I tend to speak little about the private lives of the people ..I prefer to see the creative and positive ...!! Phil Spector and .... was an excellent musician ... excellent sound creator ... that has made us spend cherished moments ... and that I carry in my memory and my heart .... A thousand thanks for your comment!
this song is awesome
What's interesting is he switches it up a whole step from D into the key of E for the chorus but in the Ronettes and Beach Boys version they don't do that which I don't understand as it sounds better with the key change.
Yes
no oh wait YES
First time hearing this verison and you are right it sounds better with the modulation from D to E. It lifts the music
Well seen, indeed much better! I think they left it becasue later transition from E to D was not smooth
@OmnisPugnasCertus Phil Spector for me was their productions and their music! My opinon is that it has left a great sound ... His private life is another story .... but his music is the best we could hear in the 60's decade!
Despite all of the awful things that have been said about him, Phil Spector was a musical genius, and one of the greatest record producers of all time! We must keep in mind that he had deep rooted psychological problems stemmed from his childhood. His father committed suicide and he had a domineering mother. Yet he had so much amazing talent for such a tormented soul. My he rest in peace. And I might add --- Who are we to judge?
One of a kind
Genius♥️👍
Amazing!
so beautiful
Phil is a genius
Sad he’s life ended the way it did! he was an awemazing extremely talented and the best of the best!
He certainly was! his music 50 years later is still played and loved.
Phil and Brian were both tortured geniuses. The difference is that Phil tortured others and Brian mostly hurt himself. Thankfully Brian has had a great second act. Phil, not so much
They both had mental health problems it’s just Phil never had anyone around him who’d tell him to stop going the way he was and it eventually ended up in tragedy.
He was so adorable. I know exactly what he's doing there. He wasn't sure of the lyric, but he knew how it should go inside his head. Such a natural producer of music. Wonderful to know the keys on the piano, to help him as soon as he got the inspiration. He probably dreamed entire songs in his head at night. He doesn't belong in prison. That's a travesty. I know he's innocent. He is our Mozart for the 20th century. It's deplorable that his resume is tarnished by that stinking night.
he's not innocent, how do you believe that?
if mozart was a murderer..yeah
stfu fred dumb ass he is your mozart wtf not ours
@mafred2069, I totally feel the same way you do. People are too quick to judge others, are they so perfect? Even Ronnie Spector didn't believe he was guilty of murder. She said his abuse was purely psychological, not physical. She should know, she lived with him. Ronnie also said that Phil was very romantic. May his tormented soul rest in peace.
I think while he was singing this all the background and arrangements were floating thru his genius mind and imagining the perfect end result. The way Phil lived his life, it was inevitable it would end badly. Greatest producer ever. Let him rest in peace; thank you, Phil
i love thesilent films in my head
you know the old european kingdoms protected their eccentric geniuses and pardoned their indiscretions
The jester was the only one who was allowed to insult the king.
Un génie musical ! Beaucoup de chanteurs lui doivent beaucoup pour ses chansons et surtout pour les arrangements. C'est tout ce que je retiens de lui. Le reste étant sa vie privée.
@sleepytimegalz Thanks!! Thanks!! You are very kind for you coment!!!
The wall of sound, you can hear it here
He sounds a little bit like Daniel Johnston
Carl the voice Wilson released a cover version 1969.
That was the "First" Song that The Beach Boys recorded "Without" Brian. They were going through such a rough time. Capitol Records dropped them, after the debacle of Smile, Brian tried to come back but it was too little too late. So many amazing Albums came after that Friends, 20/20, Sunflower, Smiley Smile, and Wild Honey (Brian's Tribute To Motown). If that weren't bad enough Murray Wilson, Father to Brian, Dennis & Carl told them that they were finished and Sold Brian's Music Catalogue and din't give a penny of the Profits to Brian & Mike who helped Co-Write many of the Songs. It was the worst business move to make because as you know Brian's Songs were featured in Hit Movies like The Big Chill, Look Who's Talking, and of course American Graffitti, over the years Brian's Songs were next to Smokey Robinson's & The Isley Brothers Songs some of the most frequently played in Advertising in North America Selling Everything to Eggo Waffles, 409 Cleaning Liquid, Honda Cars, Shampoo, and Tea and for a long time Brian didn't make a dime. He got The Catalogue Back but Mike Love ended up suing him for back Royalties.
I think that, maybe some people, like me, just came to your video because they originally searched for "wall of sound phil spector" ;)
Fuckn genius. True creator
If any one would know it would be Brain Wilson, Listen to his interview about Phil Spector. Phil needed help , and didn't get it. He may not have been able to help. But you still have to credit him for his music.
If Ronnie Spector was yours, you would be crazy Jealous too! I don't think that Phil ever recovered from that .
That’s why John married Yoko lol. No but seriously I’m sure a lot the issue was that Phil was insecure about the way he looked being with such an incredibly beautiful woman. I think this was a recurring problem throughout his life
Didn't have a singing voice singing his songs ,but boy could he write.
yes, he did.it.
Some psychiatric patients hear voices..but he could hear music...
@sammallory79 I respect the opinion everyone for my users for me Spector was a musical genius!
@sleepytimegalz Thank you very much!!! You are my friend in You tube!! One very big hug!!!!
@mudhoney110283 This vinyl I bought in El Rastro in Madrid for over 30 years ... On the Trail had a guy who brought original vinyl was not published in Spain, for example The Forever Changes by Love, Pet Sounds, many of the Four Seasons ... I have the original vinyl Americans were a bit expensive .. cost 500 pesetas .. but it was worth .. I've spent most MP3 .. for comfort .. I guess you can find still in New York .. and somewhere ..
godfuckingdammit this good!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! Do you think what this is very bad??? Now i tell you the story of my channel in "You tube" ...This video is my number 1º in visits ..It is very curious indeed .... this video has more views than any of my other videos ... What do you think???
So talented, so cool. So what went so wrong..??
Mental health problems exasperated by an endless supply of drugs and booze cause he was so rich.
Me trying to convince my kids the songs I write are fucking hits!
hey all first demos are rough. this was a major hit.
Ill take the beach boya version (Carl was perfectly suited for lead vocals) but this is pretty interesting.
RIP
where did you find this demo?
I think Phil can sing.....he's just unpolished.
Brilliant confused man
Listen to him sing his Spanish Harlem ......
I think he was and is a musical genius,misunderstood and probably a control freak to Ronnie who was and is amazing...how bloody fucking sad for all concerned
I think he should get more sympathy though he obviously did horrible things there was clearly problems in his head that never got addressed
gosh, this reminds me of Brian Wilson ..
Carl the voice Wilson released a cover version 1969.
Where did you get this recording? It's not in the bootleg tapes.
Been wondering the same for years. He said he found it on a record in Spain
anyone who didn't make millions writings songs in the 60s was a missing a few screws! the song structure of pop was so simplistic!
@uncoverbrother its simpler now. Isnt it? Only more sound effects. Chord progression wise and melody wise it went backwards.
Have to think bigger with Spector. This song was a perhaps a memory of Wagner via Tannhäuser?
Phil Spector loved the works of Wagner! He was his idol.
@sammallory79 lol, i hear the music would be a plain lyric if phil spector didn't say it. his ear is godly. i mean, the wall of sound...
Who wrote this? Jeff Barry with or without Phil?
This was written by three people - Jeff Barry, Ellie Greenwich & Phil Spector. The same three people who wrote Be my baby, You've lost that lovin' feeling and many other great songs.
I always loved the man since spector ,s three days.i think he got screwed.railroaded.a rotten shame.let him out he is old and ill.
I agree.His sentence was too severe.Let him out
He was railroaded because of his money and who he was! A lot of people hate him. He's pissed off a lot of people over the years.
this guy trained me with a sword. and we escaped the island i was told. well he didnt.
Whoa.....!! Holy crap! Maybe he was a murdering thug and all around freaky guy, but had great music acumen to hand this over to people who could Actually sing! LOL He drones on like a constipated rhinoceros in pain, about to drop from exhaustion. Lovely song though. Done by Freddie Mercury in The loveliest way Ever!! Carl W. does a great job too. Ronettes....not so much - way too boring a version, similar to this catastrophe, except they had voices.
don't waste your time.girl.is sensless.
by the way i want congrats you, this is a jewel.
dream pop owes so much to this man.
un artiste devenu un pauvre type au pays ou on deviens fou $...drogue , sex et rock and roll !
Qui!! J'adore.
@OmnisPugnasCertus has nothing to do with being Jewish. Phil Spector was just a drug addled egomaniac who was so powerful and well connected in the music industry that he routinely committed crimes of harassment of menacing without being called to account for it. Numerous women, the Ramones, his wife Ronnie Spector report that they were threatened and felt they were not free to leave while this man brandished weapons at them. Eventually Spector murdered a woman took 5 yrs
Anyone notice the similarity between Phil and Goebbels (sp?) Hitler's right hand man?
sclogse1: Yes. He was the son that got away, and then crafted the perfect disguise by living as a Jew.
Phil was arrogant. That can go a long way into trouble.
did he not kill someone
